Um, just use a strap? If you are a woman with bosoms it will not stay in place as you suggest. And holding it too close to your body deadens the sound of the instrument. Yes, hand positions are important, as you say. But it’s easier to keep hand positions loose with a strap.
Yes use a strap but not everyone has one. And yes wahine have more to deal with in the chest but growing up I’ve seen amazing wahine hold their ukulele exactly the way I teach. Back in the day straps weren’t used for ukulele. It wasn’t the norm… But if u have a strap? Perfect 👍🏼
